Thanks to my friend Saabkyle04, for taking a moment to write about a car I know he has close ties to! I own a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Limited with 60,000 miles. Purchased last year with 46k miles.

There are some who would have me flogged for mentioning the much-revered Buick Grand National in the same sentence as the Buick Regal Gran Sport.

Something old and something new was the the theme of this all new 1991 Buick. The company’s sales slid from over a million in 1985 to 566,000 for 1988 spurring new general manager Ed Mertz to look for answers.

Two seats does not a sports car make. Removing the top does not either. Buick’s drop top version of the hand built 1988 Reatta, was new for 1990, and still being front wheel drive, it kept the ride and luxury of a traditional Buick. It really is a shame the car was not as successful [...]
